Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha has passed the buck to Education CS Ezekiel Machogu over the extension of the terminated Edu-Afya medical insurance scheme.

This is coming at a time it has emerged that the state is yet to reimburse in excess of Sh4 billion to NHIF for medical services rendered to school children under the Edu-Afya and civil servants in their separate scheme.
